The Mission: Impossible series will never be remembered as the greatest action franchise in cinema history, but it is certainly one of the most consistent. Aside from a wonky second chapter by the dove and slow-motion obsessed John Woo, the series always delivers on the promise of big budget spectacle and gentle entertainment. There’s never any attempt at political commentary, no sense of the characters as genuine human beings, or even much of a distinct tone or personality to set the series apart from every other international spy caper out there. Nope, they are merely well produced vehicles designed for the sole purpose of putting Tom Cruise into the center of massive action set pieces.
In a world where monsters attack at night, we see yet another world, post-apocalypse, where a handful of people struggle to survive.
Crime Scene Berlin-Nightlife Killer Review: This documentary series really drops the ball with its storytelling.
In a movie that largely sidesteps what the war is about, “Civil War” puts us in the point of view of journalists who make it clear there are no heroes in war, just dead bodies.
Saw this last night. It was pretty good.
